Crow Busters Forum

when i got nothing to do
i follow crows that show up , and they usually lead me to a great passage
5pm is a good time to start this season
i use my car
crows here usually fly above roads , canals or electricity poles , i think that they might be using them as guides
the difficult for me is to find they place where they dont fly as high as geese

Hi  8   I am a firm believer that scouting is the most important part of this sport. You seem to be having a season like I had last year. You are doing an outstanding job at putting bandits on the ground. Sad thing is next year or the year after that you will see that things change. Such as flight patterns roosting areas and so on. I fed off a large roost last year and had a banner season. This roost has moved several miles from where it was at last year. My method is simple. Make the time to do this!!! Put some gas in your truck and start driving between 2pm and 30 minutes prior to sunset. If you see birds flying high and in a straight line follow them. It's kind of hard if you don't know the country but not imppossible. Stay with them until they end up at a staging area. They may fly 10 or 40 miles. Once you find that bunch of birds staging,  then start there the next day and wait for them. If they don't show start the process again. You will find them Once you see a large amount of birds staging in one area 2 or 3 days in a row, stay with them and notice from what directions they are comming in to that area. Observe with patience and locate the roost. It will be near depending on the staging area and how late in the evening it is. This should only take 3 to 5 days. It is VERY important to find the epicenter of the roost. Once you establish that then back away as far from it as you can get and get in their flyway and hammer them. If you get too close to the roost you will know. The birds will move on you and it may be a very good ways down the road. I know this first hand Talk to land owners when you locate the flyways. Dont dress in camo when you talk to the land owners and for goodness sake don't have a 4 wheeler on your trailer behind your truck. I would think that the land lays much the same here as it does in MS. Try this!!! it works for me. Couple tanks of gas and 3 to 5 days will put you in the birds

Go . . . to . . . their . . . grocery store . . . . .

Shoot them when they come in the door.

Shoot them when they pass you in the "Nut" section.

Shoot them in when they go out the door.
